So first let me start by saying I shaped and laminated this board over the fall last year and spent the winter sanding down the glass job...have I mentioned I really don't like glassing and generally go overkill with my fill coat so I spend the winter sanding it down or search for motivation to sand it down...But I digress This is fiber glass board number 3 for me...Its 9'7x23 x 3.25, wide spot a foot back of center, and concave about the front 3rd. If you've seen the hand drawn decal you'd probably guessed I'm calling this one the flying pig. The blank is a 9'9 Just Foam (Polyurethane), Fin home and tail block are home made as well mahogany, paulownia and black walnut. Sanded it to 320. Double 8 oz on the deck with patch and single 8oz on the bottom. It will get its celebratory session on Friday. I'd have to say for this being board number 3 I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, whiteys, burn throughs and dings and all.
